On October 18, Jordi Vallejo, CTO of FON, introduced the new La Fonera 2.0 (beta/developers edition) - watch it
here on YouTube, and I finally received my FON 2202 yesterday. Fonera 2.0 come with a bigger footprint but also more capabilities, compared to the previous version (FON 2100). Compared to the
La Fonera+ (FON 2200), the
La Fonera 2.0 now comes an USB-port, which can be used to easily add a printer, scanner, external harddrive, USB-Flash-Drive,or a WebCam to the Network. E.g., I found it impressively easy to plug in USB FLash-Drive (4 GB Kingston DataTraveler) and make it accessible on the local area network (SMB) and also over the Internet (FTP).
However, let start with taking a more detailed look at the
La Fonera 2.0 hardware.
